Mild Curry Chicken Pizza on Naan - The Gourmet Pregnancy

For our 2nd recipe from The Gourmet Pregnancy, we tried the Mild Curry Chicken Pizza on Naan for lunch. The recipe calls for you to pan sautée chicken breasts, but the night before I was making chicken breasts for the girls for dinner on the grill so I threw a few extra on for the pizza. It was excellent! I also cooked the pizzas on the grill (it was far too hot to turn on the oven!), as the toppings were already hot all it needed was 5 minutes on low for the cheese to melt and the naan to heat through.Print this recipe

1. Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.2. Add chicken, browning one side for about 2 to 3 minutes.3.

In a small bowl, combine the tomato paste and curry paste. Spread on the naan.6. Top the naan with the chicken & onion mixture, spinach and cheese.7. Place on a baking sheet and broil for 5 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.8. Sprinkle with the pepper and enjoy!

Review: We all thought this was delicious. We wanted a light lunch as we had early dinner reservations and this was perfect. Phil and PJ loved the curry flavour and Jason was too busy eating for me to get anything more than a thumbs up out of him. I loved the chicken and onion and monterey jack combination. I also loved how quick and easy this recipe came together, the whole lunch took me about 15 minutes to make. We gave it a score of 4.5 cupcakes!(It would have been a 5 but Jason never gives out a perfect score... he's weird!)
